Smoke Society
"Skindeep"
Lyrics


Just so you know
I'm just a bastard like the rest of them
But at least I tried
To give you exactly what you needed

The beckoning gaze in your mournful eyes
Made me want to give in, made me want to believe
And when you reminded me that you don't give a damn
It was just another bite out of my heart

Everything I get
I invite and accept
Everything that's taken
Is just another reminder

That all love is skindeep and sour
I've got the scars to prove it, baby

The blinding rage overcoming me again
I don't know how to cry but I know how to scream
So I'm asking someone tell me, someone tell me please
What the hell I've done to deserve it this time

All these questions and that cold tone in your voice
All those empty fucking lies in the heat of the night
All these misguided feelings turning black & blue
Gnawing away at my sanity, gnawing away at my mind

Everything I get
I invite and accept
Everything that's taken
Is just another reminder

That all love is skindeep and sour
I've got the scars to prove it, baby

Leave me alone, leave me the fuck alone
Rid me of that vile voice inside
Make it stop repeating those words
"It's all going to happen all over again"
